The dialog to configure the CUPS browsing general settings is shown here. It includes:
Enable browsing
Use short names when possible
Use implicit classes
Whether or not to broadcast printer information to other CUPS servers. Enabled by default.
Whether or not to use “short” names for remote
printers when possible (for example, printer
instead of printer@host
). Enabled by
default.
Whether or not to use implicit classes.
Printer classes can be specified explicitly, in the
classes.conf
file, implicitly based upon the
printers available on the LAN, or both.
When Implicit classes are enabled, printers on the
LAN with the same name (for example, Acme-LaserPrint-1000
) will be put into
a class with the same name. This allows you to setup multiple
redundant queues on a LAN without a lot of
administrative difficulties. If a user sends a job to Acme-LaserPrint-1000
, the job will go to
the first available queue.
This option is enabled by default.
